My kids wanted me to make a wreath for the front door to show our Irish spirit/heritage. So I took advantage of the sale Joann Fabric's had for Presidents day, and got some fabric the color of the Irish flag and used a wire wreath I had left over from Christmas. My girls took turns helping me tie on the fabric and we finished with a plaid green bow.
The cotton fabric was cut lengthwise with pinking shears in 1" strips. The fabric was cut into 6" strips and then we tied them on the wreath in alternating colors (like the Irish flag - of course).
We love Saint Patricks's Day. The kids are looking forward to the Sneaky Leprechaun's arrival. The Sneaky leprechaun just has to finish preparing for his arrival. More to come...
So I've been into making cone treats lately. I made 37 cupid's hot chocolate cones for Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd do something for St. Patrick's Day and you can't have St. Patty's Day without Lucky Charms.
A cup of Lucky Charms was added to a cone shaped cello bag. I found a cute little graphic and attached it to green scrapbooking paper and finished with green ribbon. I'm planning on using these for breakfast from the Sneaky Leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day morning, but it could also be used as a party favor. Enjoy!
